Watching the LSU college World Series. Geaux Tigers!

Game just started and LSU has already switched pitchers. Not looking good for us so far. Wake has scored.

If LSU loses this game they are out. 😞

Welcome back BC.Regarding taxi vs Uber, I took my kids to Denver two weeks ago. We took a evening flight that should have arrived around 10pm. The plan was to catch the hotel shuttle from the airport to the hotel. As luck would have it, our flight was delayed and we didn't get there until past midnight. Hotel shuttles stop running at 11:30 pm. I was so glad to see a short row of taxis waiting right outside the baggage claim exit.. At 12:30 am, I didn't want to stand around at the airport with two young girl waiting for a ride. Thank for taxis.

@cwillie,

I will always prefer a taxi when available. I have never taken an uber and technically I'm still considered the 'younger' generation.
I don't know who these people are. A taxi has a radio and they are in constant contact with their dispatcher. A taxi driver has his cab license clearly visible because it's always laminated and on the dashboard. Give me a taxi any day of the week.

I'm using the 'On My Mind' thread to let everyone know that I haven't been ignoring any messages that were left for me. My account was suspended temporarily and we (myself and the moderators) had a terrible time getting it restored.
It's good to be back and I look forward to chatting with our group.

The younger generations need to get over thinking that their way is the better way. I got scolded my my nephew for using a taxi instead of uber - why would I want to download an app and set up an uber account for a service I'm unlikely to need again? Taxi companies still exist so I'm not the only one still using them 🙄.

Way, My oldest daughter did do a sleep study. It’s interesting how they measure the REM sleep and study how we sleep overall.

Way,

I don’t get it but you have to know my kid. She’s like her dad, an engineer, and loves all of this high tech stuff. She loves this thing that she is wearing.

I can see how it could go either way though, and be annoying or stressful as it was for your daughter.

My daughter’s generation relies on technology for everything.

She buys into all of the marketing hype! One time she saw me looking at websites to purchase something that I wanted.

Oh gosh, she says, “Mom, why aren’t you looking at instagram first?” I told her that I thought that was a waste of time! LOL 😆
Then, I get the, ‘Okay, Boomer’ look from her!

I find it more peaceful to nod and say yes! LOL 😆 when she starts talking about how wonderful her new purchases are!

Need. My daughter was doing some sleep AP too because she wasn’t sleeping well . All it did was make her more anxious about sleep when she saw her bad sleep stats on it. I told her to stop having her sleep criticized by some app. If need be go get a legit sleep study done.

Llama,

My daughter says she isn’t sleeping well. I will tell her about it. Thanks.

Need: Good news for your brother.

If you struggle with insomnia sometimes, perhaps you'll want to wear a sleep patch. DH got me one called Zleep.

cw,

Okay, if it is a motivational factor, then it is good.

I think my daughter is kind of a trendy gadget person. She’s always telling me about something that she ordered on Amazon.

My fitbit was a christmas gift a couple of years ago and it's still going strong. At first I rolled my eyes and was reluctant try it but I'm hooked now, it has been my primary motivation to get off my butt and move!

cw, I am with you. If a Fitbit does all of this, then why does my daughter need a subscription? I think it’s silly and kind of gimmicky.

How long have you had a Fitbit? Do you find it helpful?

I do the same routine on my exercise cycle. It tracks the mileage and calories burned and all of that but I don’t really pay attention to any of it. I do 30 minutes on the bike and then stop.

My cheapest model fitbit tracks sleep and there are no fees unless you subscribe, but I guess it depends on how much info you need.

My brother had his surgery today. So, now he can move onto the next step.

Thanks again to everyone who said prayers for him.

I usually don’t have an insomnia issue. In the past, I have had sleepless nights, mostly due to stress, too much coffee or bad dreams.

My daughter showed me this watch thing that she is wearing that does all kinds of things. One thing is measuring her sleep schedule because she does struggle with getting enough sleep.

Apparently, she has a subscription to something for this thing that she is wearing.

How does tracking sleep and paying for an ongoing subscription help? I didn’t ask her these questions because she is entitled to do whatever she chooses to do.

I am just curious. I don’t think I would wear one of those things. Maybe there are good reasons why to wear one. I am only saying that I am not motivated to do so.

just read this sentence from a random person on the internet, somewhere in the world:

“Who needs a predictable good day when the rollercoaster of a bad day can be so much more exciting?”

emmmm, no thanks.
i don't think this person has ever done - any - caregiving.

bundle ,

that does happen sometimes where new research debunks old to the point where we do a 180 on something .

I doubt though that removing fallopian tubes will be one of those things that is contraindicated . Fallopian tubes have been removed for many many years with total hysterectomies , with no known adverse effect of not having them .
